This is a Lappet-Faced Vulture taken in the Serengeti in Tanzania. There were many different kinds of vultures there and many in groups feeding after a larger animal made its kill and was finished. This particular bird had finished and decided to strike a regal pose. these are large and fierce birds often pushing the others out of the way to feed.

About The Photographer

Cropped fa03a007

I have been photographing for over 40 years mainly in B&W but switching to digital in 2003. I studied with many noted photographers primarily to gain expertise in printing. I taught workshops in darkroom techniques, photographing, and travel photography, and have run tours. I have lectured and had one man shows and my work is in various collections. My main love is to travel and capture the essence of the destination.
